Plan Parking. Allow extra time for parking; one reviewer suggested parking opposite and walking to the restaurant.
Try Nihari. For a first visit, nihari is one of the safer dish choices based on its specific praise for tender meat and rich gravy.
Check Roti. Check that roti is properly cooked before settling in, as one customer reported the same problem four or five times.
Expect Crowds. Weekend breakfast can be busy, so avoid the morning rush if you want a quicker table.
Adjust Tea. If you prefer less sweetness, ask about the tea first; a review specifically found it too sweet.
Verify Delivery. Double-check delivery orders when they arrive, since one reviewer reported receiving different items repeatedly.

Recent reviews range from excellent to complaints about stale, cold or poorly prepared food, so consistency is a concern.
One customer reported finding hairs in the food and questioned meat freshness and preparation.
A delivery reviewer said repeated orders arrived with different items from those requested.
Parking around the restaurant was described as congested and difficult to find.
Some customers found portions too small, including a chicken korma with only two very small pieces of chicken.
The Bottom Line
Copper Kettle is a Pakistani-Indian restaurant in Dubai Silicon Oasis with a menu that covers desi breakfast, curries, grills and breads. The most useful reasons to consider it are its Pakistani specialities: reviewers mention nihari, chicken handi, qeema naan, biryani and BBQ. The nihari was praised for tender meat and rich gravy, while a mix grill platter came with juicy BBQ and soft rice.
Breakfast is a substantial part of the appeal, with halwa poori, chanay, parathas, kulcha and tea appearing in reviews. Weekend mornings can be crowded. Families may appreciate the indoor and outdoor seating and two small play areas, although parking is repeatedly described as difficult; one reviewer suggested parking opposite and walking over.
The experience is not perfectly consistent. Some customers report fresh, generous food and attentive service, while others received cold or stale BBQ, undercooked roti, small portions or disappointing dishes. One review also reported hairs in the food.
Delivery has had its fans, but repeated order mix-ups were reported, so check the bags before settling in. Prices are described as reasonable by several diners, though one breakfast buffet review felt the variety did not quite justify the price.
